Photoinduced electron transfer in non-covalent free-base octaethylporphyrin and 2-nitrofluorene donor-acceptor system: A combined experimental and quantum chemical study
摘要： Photosynthetic reaction center functions through non-covalent incorporation into a well-defined transmembrane proteins. In the context of exploring photoinduced electron transfer (PET) in non-covalent donor-acceptor systems, we have investigated electron transfer from free-base octaethylporphyrin (OEP) donor to 2-nitrofluorene (2NF) acceptor in acetonitrile (ACN), a polar solvent. Steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopic studies in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to explore the electron transfer process. Quenching of the fluorescence emission intensity as well as fluorescence lifetime of the OEP upon excitation at the Q band of OEP at 300 K, is attributed to the PET from OEP to 2NF. Our DFT [wB97XD functional and 6-31G (d,p) basis set] calculations also support the interaction between donor and acceptor and also reveals the co-facial π-π interaction energy of ?24.6 kcal/mol with intermolecular distance b4 ?. Our results are expected to shed light on PET in non-covalent donor acceptor systems.

Recent Advances on Nitrofluorene Derivatives: Versatile Electron Acceptors to Create Dyes Absorbing from the Visible to the Near and Far Infrared Region
摘要： Push–pull dyes absorbing in the visible range have been extensively studied so that a variety of structures have already been synthesized and reported in the literature. Conversely, dyes absorbing in the near and far infrared region are more scarce and this particularity relies on the following points: difficulty of purification, presence of side-reaction during synthesis, low availability of starting materials, and low reaction yields. Over the years, several strategies such as the elongation of the π-conjugated spacer or the improvement of the electron-donating and accepting ability of both donors and acceptors connected via a conjugated or an aliphatic spacer have been examined to red-shift the absorption spectra of well-established visible dyes. However, this strategy is not sufficient, and the shift often remains limited. A promising alternative consists in identifying a molecule further used as an electron-accepting group and already presenting an absorption band in the near infrared region and to capitalize on its absorption to design near and far infrared absorbing dyes. This is the case with poly(nitro)fluorenes that already exhibit such a contribution in the near infrared region. In this review, an overview of the different dyes elaborated with poly(nitro)fluorenes is presented. The different applications where these different dyes have been used are also detailed.
